FEBRUARY 11, .1993 UW STEVENS POINT VOLUME 36 NO. 17
Gang activity grabs campus attention
By Pamela Kersten
News Editor
With gang activity engulfmg
neighboring cities and slowly
seeping into the Stevens Point
community, several UWSP officials are concerned with the impact they could make on
campus.
Gang activity was discussed by
members of Protective Services,
student security patrol and
several other concerned staff
with representatives from the
Steven.s Point Police Department and the Portage CounJ.y
Sheriff's Department January
in bathroom stalls in the Fine
Arts Building according to
Burling.
The fatest appearance of gang
graffiti was in the University
bookstore following a break-in
and theft December 29, 1992.
Baige feels that the Stevens
Point area is ripe for gang activity and is trying to.do everythjng possible to prevent it.
"We are not tolerating this activity in our community," stated
Capt. Doug Carpenter, SPPD.
and
believe
·
that educating the public and
networking with other communities are their top priorities.
SPPD's networking includes
exchanging names of area gang
members'techniques and information with other communities.
Barge feels that the gangs in
Stevens Point are in the preliminary stage, meaning they are unorganized and do not have any
specific person to direct them
like in bigger cities.
"Like an octopus," Barge explained, "gangs have a center
and tentacles. Stevens Point ·
(gangs)· could be explained as
having no center mass, just tentacles running around."
The potential is here however,
an4 "we're trying to keep a lid
on it," he explained.
According to Carpenter those
who usually join the gangs come
from dysfunctional families, suffer from low self esteem and are
underachievers in school.
"The r,tain draw to gangs is that
they giv~ you instant recognition~ well as an instant fami-
28.
.
Sgt. Robert Barge said there
are approximately 40 to 50 active gang members in the community at the present time.
"We have no proof that there
are any gang members as students on campus, though,"
Barge said.
Gang related thefts and breakins were traced back to late summer, 1991, explained Don
Burling, director of protective
services.
A device called a "dent puller"
used to remove locks off car
doors during that time was
traced to a local gang that.often
uses the technique.

ly," Barge said.
There are three prominent
gangs in the area consisting of
males and females ages 12 to the
early 20's according to the
SPPD.
The Black Gangster Disciples,
a gang affiliated with the larger
group, Folks, and the Vice
Lords, affiliated with the larger
group People are both American
street gangs.
The third gang is the Asian
Knights.
"Racial makeup (of a gang)
doesn't necessarily mean anything," Barge clarified. "It
depends on an areas population,
not on what kind of gang it is."
Gang members usually are
identifiable by the color or the
pqsitioning of their clothing as
well as tattoos and jewelry.
"People have to realize that just
because someone is wearing
their hats or clothing a certain
way, it doesn't mean they are in
a gang, " Burling stated.
"People have to look for other
. signs."
Barge hopes that the public
:loesn't become "gangophobic"
and start "thinking that there's a
gang member behind every
tree."
.
"We really do think that we
have done a tot of things right
(preventing gang activity),"
Barge said. "I don't think we're
overreacting."

The city & students: recycling
Recycling center. relocates in Plover
By Michelle Neinast
Outdoors Editor
Many students are confused
about recycling in the city of
Stevens Point. We know that
new laws about separating garbage and recyclables are being ~
enforced, yet most students
don't seem to know where it's
all going. .
As a matter of fact, many students think there is no longer a
recycling plant in Stevens Point.
However, this is untrue.

Valentine's Day; just call me lonesome
by Kevin A. Thays
Editor-in-Cizief
When cupid shot his arrow, he
must have missed my heart and
hit my wallet because he left me
lonely and broke with this pain
in the butt holiday called
Valentine's Day.

messages engraved on them.
a
When I think "candy heart,"
"bad news!" comes to mind.
Maybe it's because my mom always gives me the ones that say,
"I love you" and my dates honor ·
me with the ones that say "best
friends."
Subtle messages are
everywhere on Valentine's Day.
Sometimes I get paranoid because I try to read between the

stage known as "going in for the
kill!" It involves two weeks of
accumulating bravery to eventually make that phone call or
pop a big question.

around with, but in all reality
that's about the extent of it.

Valentine's Day doesn't mean
just one day. It means two
weeks before and two weeks
after--yes, the entire month of
February.

After all, it takes time to plan
for the excitement. This is the
The last two weeks of the
month are the most depressing.
I label this stage with a plain and
simple title called, "getting over
the disappointment" which
refers to the aftermath of rejection (getting turned down for a
date can leave a person in the
dumps for quite some time).
It also takes two weeks for
your friends' flowers to die so
that you don't have to look at

more pleasant than reminders of
what you didn't get.

And let me drop you a
reminder. If you've gotten this
far in my editorial, you are relating with me in one of two ways.
You're either laughing because
you lucked out this' year and
have a date or you're depressed
and need someone to talk to (and
being that you have no-one,
you've turned to me).
Sad enough, I'd never leave a
lonesome person out in the cold.
But I'll be honest, a newspaper
doesn't make a very good
blartket, so I'll do my best to
warm you with some closing
words of advice .
If you end up broke from this
Valentine's Day, loneliness will
surround you because nothing is
worse than being in poverty
when your friends have money.
If this is your case--live and

Hallmark holiday, then I recommend a differeni remedy--sleep
the entire day away. Dream, it's

UWSP's parking game--it's ho4"win!
by Bill Downs
Contributor
Have you played the "parking
game" lately? It's real easy and
all you need is a car (make, year
and model optional), and a lot of
patience.
It can be played by one or more
players and the rules are simple.
· You never win!
To begin the game you must
first learn the game board. This
consists of all . the streets and
parking lots in and around
UWSP. Study the board carefully! Note that there are some
streets you can park on "free" all
day and others that will get you
a penalty for overstaying your
welcome.
There are two hour streets
where you can park for free, bllt
if you have a class that lasts
more than two.hours it would be
advisable to find an alternate
place to park.
There are two hour parking
meters on some streets (they
only take quarters, so make sure
you have the correct change) but
this will have the same·effect as
the two hour free spots if you
have classes that last over two
hours.
Then there are the parking lots.
You might opt for the visitor lot
(if you can get there before it
fills up) and pay $1.25 for all
day (it used to be$ .75, I'm not
sure why the increase, maybe it
has something to do with all that
construction last summer).
Or, you can park in the UC lot
which has meters (but they take
nickels, dimes, and quarters)
and also have a two hour limit.
The parking game starts
(mainly for all us commuters)
by driving up and down all ·the
"free" streets searching for a
place to park. Once you have
established that you are going to
have to find an alternate street
(or lot) the real fun begins.
Let's say that you have a class
at 11 in the Collins Classroom
and another at noon in the Communication Center that doesn't
. get out until 12:50, and you
parked on a two hour free street
(or two hour meter).
You options are: A) move
your car in-between classes and
be late for your next class.
B) Take a chance that you
won't be caught for the extra
twenty minutes you're there. ·
C) skip your, next class and go
to Ella's for a bagel and beer.
Or you my opt to use the UC
parking lot. As you come running out of the science building
with a fist full ofchange, you see
the ever present "parking Gestapo" punching out your license
plate number intO his portable,
computerized, radio-contrplled
ticket machine.
The hideous little electronic
box pukes out another digitally
printed invitation to join the Association of Parking Offenders
(a fraternity of which I'm a
member in good standing.)
You grimace with a pain in
you wallet and realize that you
have been another loser in "the
parking game."
I've often wondered where
they fmd the people who serve
in the Gestapo. They are certainly a dedicated (some would
say overzealous) officers.
I had the opportunity to see
one of UWSP's "finest" in action in the UC parking lot.
He skillfully positioned his
vehicle behind an offenders car
and waited for the ominous red
flag to pop up. As soon as it did
he whipped out the ticket with
the speed and precision of the
-seasoned typist.
And as he ,placed the bright
yellow envelope with the invitation in it, I noticed the gleam in
his eye and the smile (could
. have been a smirk) on his face
as he took great pride in a job
well done.

Concert sells out Quandt Picking that
perfect present
byCbrisK•Il•y
Photo Editor
by Kelly Lecker
Concert tickets for country
musicians Vince Gill and Mary
Chapin Carpenter went on sale
last Thursday and sold out later
that day. -
Features Editor
With ticket outlets in Stevens
Point, Wausau, Marshfield and
Wisconsin Rapids, all 3,300
seats for the March 13th show in
the Quandt Fieldhouse were
gone within seven hours.
"We're negotiating for
another show," said Greg Diekroeger, assistant director of ·
Campus Activities' program-
ming.
The Vince Gill and Mary
Chapin Carpenter concert is the
fastest sellout ever for Quandt
Fieldhouse. The last show to
sell out in one day was Johnny
Cash in 1974, according to
Diekroeger.
"Country always dpes well for
us," he said. "It's a traditional
country market in Central Wisconsin."
Central Wisconsin is more
traditional with rock concerts
also, Diekroeger explained.
Campus Activities has recently
brought such shows as Richard
Marx and .38 Special to Quandt.
Both concerts sold about the
same number of tickets, even
though Richard Marx is currently more J)?PUlar.

Roses and candy just won't do
this year. You're looking for
the' perfect Valentine's Day
present for your loved one, but
you can't exactly afford
diamonds.
This year, try something I've
learned in every communication
class I've ever taken: Consider
your audience.
Romance means something
different to everyone. Some
people may love roses, but
somebody else may prefer
something a little more creative.
My roommate, for example,
bought her boyfriend a fillet
knife, the perfect gift since she
needs someone to fish with after
t~e ice fishing equipment and
wool socks she got for
Chrisbnas.
Of course, if her boyfriend
doesn't get her a nice present,
she might just have another use
for that knife.
The perfect date for this
joyous couple would be a day on
the ice, sitting in their little
shack keeping wann. Not the
ideal date for everyone, but a
wonderful time to them. ·
I'm not sure what my other
roommate is getting her fiance,
but they're the kind of people
that are just happy being
together, one of those "old married couples." This is definitely
the ideal situation for those
people with a big heart and an
empty wallet.
One of my male fri~Mtds is
planning a candlelight dinner
for two. I just hop~ Dominos
isn't too busy, or his date may
get pretty hungry waiting for her
meal.
Another friend said, "I don't
expect a present. Just being · ·
alone with the girl I love is
enough." S.ounds sweet, I
know, but he had this smirk on
his face that told me he wasn't
thinking with his head.
The other day l found a
brochure in the mail with cheap
ways to attract a prospective
valentine. One suggestion was
to leave a sweet valentine's day
song on his/her answering
machine. Just make sure have
the right answering machine so
as to avoid an embarrassing confrontation with someone who
thinks you are in love with him.
Another idea was to bake
· heart-shaped cookies and send
them to someone you admire,
which is perfect for the person
with a sweet tooth. And it
doesn'tmatter if you can'tbake-it's the thought that counts,
right?
Whatever you choose, just
make sure it would appeal to
your special valentine, and I
guarantee the roses and
diamon4s won't even be
missed.

Raymond Stroik, who has
worked many years advancing
pe~ between people of different races, religions, and'
political dogmas, is this year's
winner of. the Brother James
Miller Award.
Stroik, 525 Meadow St., assistant archivist at UW-Stevens
Point, will r~ceive his recognition February 13 during a
program at UWSP honoring the
life of Brother Miller.
Nearly a decade ago, Stroik
helped establish criteria for the
Brother Miller Award.
Winners, he and other planners
decided, would be chosen for initiative, persistence and
solidarity.
A $1000 cash prize from the
Catholic Diocese of LaCrosse is
to be designated by the recipient
for a peace and justice project.
$troik has asked that his
money go to the school in
Guatemala that Brother Miller
was staffing when he was
gunned down by masked assailants in February of 1982.
Stroik has a long list of organizations in which he participates for the sake of justice
an4 peace
However, he says that in some
cases, "the only authority I have
is my baptism," for initiating or
advancing projects for the ·betterment of human life. ·
The Stevens Point native who
was the second in a family of
eight children, believes his
meager lifestyle as a young person contributedstrongly to his
present.attitudes.
But it was a professor with
few, if any, ties to organized
religion who introduced him to
the social teachings of the
Roman <;:atholic Church.
The late George Dixon, a
sociologist at UWSP, steered
Stroik into issues of intellectual
history, and in response, the student gave up plans to become an
accounting major and pursued
instead the study of liberal arts.
That was in 1955.
In a recent essay, Stroik wrote:
"My quest for social justice and
global peace is rooted in a visio~ ·
of individual liberty which is
rooted in social equality and
human commuirity ."
In describing the purpose of
his work, he states: "I seek a ·
faith that does justice, a liturev
that does justice, a community
that does justice."
As a believer in people working together, he argues: "I
remain deeply convinced that I
am called to do that which might
ultimately eliminate the cause
of our many unmet needs; our
sense of individualism."

"The Vanishing" is a prime ex- . ·
ample of how Hollywood can
take a great idea and completely muck it up.
Based on an intriguing and unsettling 1991 Dutch film of the
same name, "The Vanishing"
involves a man's obsession with
his girlfriend's mysterious disappearance while on vacation.
Kiefer Sutherland gives a strong
perfqrmance, convincingly capturing the man's feverish intensity.
After a .frustrating three years
Sutherland finally comes face to
face with his girlfriend's abductor (Jeff Bridges). Bridges offers to reveal what happened to
her, but he insists that there is
only one way to do this. Sutherland must experience what she
experienced.
It's certainly a chilling
prospect and many of the film~s
best scenes involve Bridges'
methodical manipulation of
Sutherland. Sutherland's fixation on learning the details of his
gir,lfriend 's ordeal makes him
willing to do anything, and
Bridges uses it to his advantage.
Sutherland's new romantic interest (played by Nancy Travis)
adds excess baggage to the film
and dulls the suspense.
The ftlm really falls apart at
theend.
·
Rather than stick with the
movie's subtle yet creepy tone,
the filmmakers choose to finish
up with a predictable, excessive,
completely unbelievable end~g. Every supposed shock in
the last twenty minutes of "The
Vanishing" will be familiar to
anyone who has ever watched a
thriller or horror film before.
If the story still intrigues you,
try combing the local video
stores for a copy of the fme
foreign film that initially told
this tale. If you insist on seeing
the Americanized version, iust

New secretary
spreads love
New Department of Natural
Resources Secretary George E.
Meyer wants the agency's
program directors to intensify
their public outreach efforts and
listen to the opinions and ideas
of Wisconsin citizens.
In a briefmg of agency bureau
directors on.his first day on the
job, Meyer pledged to "build a
new level of ti'Ust''-betwe~ri the
people and the agency by maintaining high visibility and
presence "throughout the state."
He said he will spend at least
two "packed" days a week out of
his Madison office to meet with
local officials, conservation and
environmental interests, busi·nesses, the news media, and
others.
"I will use the visibility of the
office to build coalitions and to
reach consensus," Meyer said.
And he challenged his top
managers to leave their·desks in
Madison and demonstrate that
"we are willing to listen and
learn" from the people of Wisconsin.
Meyer acknowledged that
some of the things l_le and other
officials will hear from the
people may not be positive.
"But we have to address the
problems we find and work
toward fair and sound solutions," he stated.
A lawyer and a career Depart. ment employee, Meyer assumed
Izaak Walton League fisheree
office Feb. 1, succeeding C.D.
"Buzz" Besadny, who retired
after 41 years in the agency, 12
as DNR Secretary. He is
responsible for overseeing
numerous programs involving
fish, wildlife, forests, parks, law
enforcement and a range of environmental protection activities.
·
Meyer said his management
philosophy would stress "accountability, creativity and effectiveness." And he said the
directions from Madison to the
Department's 2,900 employees
would stress the need to consider long term implications of
DNR present actions.
"We need to ask how today's
actions will fit 10 to 20 years
down the road," Meyer cautioned. "We need to ask, 'Are
we doing somethmg that will get
us to where we need to go as a
state? Or is what we are doing
superfluous?'"
·Meyer said the Department
was fortunate to have dedicated
and hardworking employees.
However, increasing responsibilities for federal and state
programs without corresponding staff increases will require
the department to set priorities
and perhaps "look for other
ways to deliver services,"
Meyer said. "Managing agency
growth · will be a continuing
challenge."

It's time to start plarming for
the 1993 camping season by
making reservations for your
favorite state campground
campsite or for the Mirror Lake

with disabilities.
'
"Wisconsin state parks began
accepting campsite reservations
on January 4," said Kimberly
Eilenfeldt of the Department of
Natural Resources Bureau of
Parks and Recreation. "Many
of the prime campsites at our
state parks are reserved ·months
in advance for busy weekends,"
she said.
More than 35 state park and
forest campgrounds have
campsites that can be reserved.
Reservations must be made
directly to the park at which
campers wish to reserve a
· campsite.
Reservations must be made
either in person or through the
mail on an official DNR
campsite reservation form. All
c.ampgrounds also have
campsites that are available on a
first come basis.
Forms for campsites and the
campground cabin are available
at most park and forest offices or
by writing to the Bureau of
Parks and Recreation, Wisconsin DNR, P.O. Box 7921,
Madison, WI 53707. There is a
$3 campsite fee.
A special form is required to
reserve the Cabin Campsite for
people with disabilities located
at Mirror Lake State Park, according to Anthonette Gilpatrick, DNR accessibility
specialist.
The cabin, constructed exclusively for people
with disabilities, features a barrier free design, lowered counter

Mirror Lake and hiking trails are
located near the cabin. .

Ice fishermen deserve more than hugs
by Gregory Bayer
Contributor
Twist & Shout: Many people
believe ice fishermen rise
before dawn because that ·is
when the fish bite. This is a lie,
as they get up early only so that
they may have all their holes
drilled by noon (fish eat lunch at
the same time we do).
In other words, drilling holes
is an ice fisherman's most difficult task, warranting the
"Twist and Shout" as an Olympic event.
Two hole-drilling events exist,
one using a-hand auger and the
other, a power auger. Despite
the beliefs of many, both activities require the same amount
of physical exertion.
This is due to the fact that
fishermen using hand augers are
exhausted and content after
,boring three holes, while. those
with power augers are happy
with no fewer than ·18 holes.
You see, like tip-ups, you can
never have too many holes.
For our purposes, competitors
from each division must drill
three holes, ten yards apart.
Then they must rid each hole of
ice shavings and bait three tipups at a predetermined depth.
They are judged by their-overall time, the amount of ice shaving left in the hole, the accuracy
with which the lines were set
and the originality of obscene
shouts about dull blades and
thick ice.
an awards ceremony. First,
second, and third-place winners
should not be presented mere

In any case, even for the losers,
the Ice Fishing Olympics will
serve as a unique diversion from
the long and .cold Wisconsin
winters.

16th annual Arctic Rugby
Fest to be held this weekend ·
Modern rugby football
origlflated quite by accident. In
1823 William Ellis, a student at
Rugby College, England was
participating in an interclass
football (soccer) game.
At that time the rules allowed
for advancement of the ball only
by kicking, with no handling of
the ball permitted. .
Ellis, chagrined over his
failure to kick the bounding ball,
picked it up and carried it down
field. His captain made profuse
apologies for the breach of football etiquette.
But the news of his run with
the ball got around and certain
players felt that the option of
kicking or running with the ball
might add zest to a contest.
Up untilEllis' run, Rugby College had never deviated from
strict soccer.
However, when the play was
discussed it was the custom to
refer to it as "that play at
Rugby," and eventually it was
called "Rugby's game."
It was decided to try rugby as
an experiment, and it was ruled
that a player could run with the
ball if caught on the fly or on the
frrst bounce.
Players who tried it took an
immediate liking to the sport.
UWSP carries on the rugby
tradition Feb. 13 and 14 when
the Pointers will host the 16th
annual Arctic Fest.
Point will be entering four
teams (Old Boys, New Boys, ASide and B-Side) who will compete against eight other teams
from around the state and
country.
Two women's teams will also
be attending, and they will play
an exhibitia,n match on Sunday
the 14th.
Regretfully, Cardiff R.F.C.
will not be attending this year
because they are afraid of running into Point's coach and
former Cardiff player Mike
Williams.
The games will begin at 10
a.m. across from the Village or.
.the corner of Maria Drive and
Michigan Avenue.
T-shirts and tickets for the
party Saturday night will be on
sale in the U.C. starting Feb. 8th.
The party will be held at
Buffy's, JL's, GBI's, Joe's Bar,
and Friendly Bar starting at 6
p.m.
Tickets are $5 in advance and
$6 at the door. Anyone 21 and
over is welcome to attend.
New players are always welcome and if you are interested in
playing in the tournament or in
the spring call Mike Williams at
346-4928 or Todd Draak at 3450650 for more information.

Hockey earns titles at Superior
f:.
Closes out NCHA regular season schedule at River Falls
by Tom Weaver
Contributor
The UW-Stevens Point Hockey team clinched their second
straight NCHA regular season
title this past weekend against
UW-Superior.
This NCHA crown is the
fourth in the past five seasons
for the Pointers, and also gives
them the title in the four team
WSUCrace.

The Pointers tossed the
preseason poll aside, as they
have done all season long, and
clinched the NCHA title with a
4-3 defensive win at the
Wessman Arena.
AI Bouschor got Stevens Point
on the board as time was about
to run out in the first period to
give the Pointers a big lift after
- one period.
"That was a really big goal for
us," said Pointer Head Coach
Joe Baldarotta.
'They came into the weekend
losers of four straight, and we
were trying to establish things
on the road. We knew that
whoever got the first goal would
get a big advantage."
- Superior wasted no time in
tying things up as Doug Smith
tied the score just a minute and
a half into the second period.
Gord Abric put UWSP back
on top after Marc Strapon
worked the puck loose to a
streaking Gord Abric who beat
Superior goaltender James Jensen on a breakaway.
"That play showed what we
did well all weekend," said Baldarotta. "We did a great job on
the fore check and back check.
That's what you have to do
against Superior."
Chris Campbell tied things at
two for Superior with an unassisted goal in the third period.
The Pointers answered their
score with goals just 25 seconds
apart from Mike Zambon and
Jeff Marshall to hold on for the
win.

The Pointers knew that game
two was a crucial one for the
Yellowjackets, as they were in
need of a-win of their home ice
to salvage a split.
The Wessman Arena has been
very friendly to the Yellowjackets because the past two
seasons, they have dropped just
four games on their home ice.
Todd Tretter spotted the
Pointers the lead in the first
period, only to see the Yellowjackets take a 2-1 lead early in
the second period.
Chad Zowin tied the score
midway through the second
period, but Superior tallied
twice on the powerplay to take a
4-2 lead into the third period.
The powerplay play turned in
favor of the Pointers in the early
stages of the final period as
Dave Dimitri and Kevin Plager
netted goals on the man advantage in the opening two
minutes to.tie things at four.
Plager struck again two
minutes later and Stevens Point
had the lead again this time at 5-
chand added an empty net goal
in the final minute to seal the
sweep on the road.
"We've just been able to
come back a couple of times in
the past few years against Superior. We just wanted it more
than they did," added Baldarotta.
With a pair of wins the
Pointers have assured themselves of the number one seat for
the NCHA post season tournament.
That is a long way away as
they face a very tough series this
weekend at River Falls.
"They are always ready to play
us and it should be a classic
series," said Baldarotta.
"We have to keep to our game
and do the same things we did
against Superior. We want to
head into the playoffs with a
couple of wins."

"Kevin is like a puck magnet,
he's always working toward the
net and whenever that happens
it goes in," said Baldarotta.

For the second week in a row,
the UWSP track and field teams
captured first place in a Pointer
Invitational.
The men were top among 11
teains and the women were the
best of nine teams.
Several outstanding performances were seen from loth the
men and the women.
The men scored 181-pc:)ints in
the meet, easily outdistancing
UW-Platteville, who had 118
points, and Luther College's 59
points.
With 133 points, the women
topped Luther's 110 and UWPlatteville's 58.
"We had a very good meet and
have come a long way since last
week," commented Women's
Coach Len Hill.
Men's Coach Rick Witt expressed the same enthusiasm
toward his team: "I'm really
satisfied. We're accomplishing
what we want at this point of the
season and I'm pleased with the
way things are progressing."
For the men Chris Larsen and
Craig Huelsman each won two
events.
barsen came in first in heat
three of the 55 meter hurdles
(:08.14) and the 200 meter

meter with a time of :06.61.
Andy Valia set a health enhancement center record in the 600
meter race with a time of
1:22.39.
"He ran extremely well in
what was probably the best race
of the day. Everyone else from
the team who participated in the
middle distance events scored in
this meet, which is remarltable,"
/said Witt.
Bill Green and Matt Roeber
also finished first in the 55 meter
hurdles (:06.02) and the 800
meter race (2:02. 72) respectiv~­
ly.

5000 meter race (17:39.60).
Debbie Olsen was the best in
the long jump (4.79 meters) and
the 55 meter dash (7 .79).
"I was pleased with Debbie's
win in the long jump, although
she is capable of jumping much
further," commented Hill.
In the 400 meter, Kelly Anderson grabbed first in a time of
1:03.47.
This Saturday the Pointers

Men's Basketball breaks Stout's heart comes out victorious in an intense game against Edgewood
by Bob Weigel
Contributor
The time to come together as
a team is now! The time to play
with unrenowned intensity is
now! The time to win is no.w!
"If you look by a game and
start thinking down . the road
you'll iet your head knocked
off," exclaimed coach Bob
Parker as the Pointer Men's
Basketball team took to the
court against the UW- Stout
Blue Devils.
The Pointers took command
from the outset, executing an
iron wall defense, as well as
converting on the other end of
the·couit.
Out to an 8-0 route, Justin
Freier ignited the crowd with a
monstrous jam.
Stout appeared to not have
much offensive capability as
they were imable to convert
each time down the court, as
Point sprung out to a 22-0 lead.
As the half rolled on, the Blue
Devils were able to keep pace
with Pointers.
Everyone got in to the act, as
Luke Reigel went 2-2 in threepoint land, scorning ten, and
boarding seven in his eleven
minutes of play.
. Halfway through the second
half, Point became stagnant for
a five minute period, but held
Stout to just eight points. '
The game was quickly over for
the Blue Devils, but riot without
vengeance, as Matt Pelland was
able to show the crowd ·a fmal
second slam of his own.
The Pointers improved their
record to 10-2 in the WSUC,
and 17- 2overall, while the Blue
Devils faded to 4-9, and 9-12
respectively.
Taking the.game down to the
final second friday night in
Quandt Fieldhouse the Pointer
Men's Basketball team once
again displayed their ability to
perform under pressure.
The non-conference challenge
was issued by the 17th ranked
NAJA Division If team
Edgewood College.
Out to another slow start, the
Pointers could not get into
rhythm.
Just three minutes into the
game, Edgewood dominated the
court, culminating a 16-4 tear
that left the Pointen withnnt
answers.
Down by as much as 12, the
Pointers made their patented
pre- halftime run to push the
lead down to a mere point.
Throughout the second half
both teams were no more than
three points apart.
Down to the final five seconds,
Edgewood's Tim Meyer created
a 52-52 tie by banking home a
17-foot shot from the left angle.
Immediately the Pointers·
called a timeout to set up the
fmal play which was engineered
so that if the first guard is not
open, he flushes and the pass is
then given to the trailing second
guard who must be.
Needing to go the length of the
court, the Pointers inbounded to
Gabe Miller, in turn, he quickly
passed to Donta Edwards.
Edwards launched the ball to
Sennett, the trailing guard, who
C!Ulght it in full stride.
While breaking up the middle,
he dribbled once to his left, and
pulled up firing.
Sennett's shot drew nothing
but the bottom of the net as the
1,400+ fans were drawn into
hysteria.
.
The tension-filled final moments and the dramatic finish
overshadowed the fact that,
from an offensive standpoint, it
was not a well-played contest by
either team.
"When you play with fire in.
the last minute sometimes
you're gonna get burned," said
Parker. "We're kind of living
with the lord."
The Pointers travel to Superior Friday, February 12, and to
Eau Glaire on Saturday,
February 13.
Both games are scheduled to
begin at 7:30 p.m.
